Contrarian But Valid Projections of 2008/9

No Equality Without Gender Equality

"There is no real equality without full gender equality," Dr Steinbock says. He grew up in Finland whose national assembly became the first parliament worldwide to embrace full gender equality in 1906 - a decade before its national independence.

A major advocate of the civil rights movement in America, Dr Steinbock believes that these rights have been suppressed in the Global South, due to centuries of colonialism, the Cold War and the post 9/11-wars.

Genocide and Modernity

Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi, Holocaust witnesses of the 20th century. He promoted Levi's "Se questo e un uomo" when it was ignored in the West; and he got to know Wiesel in New York City. "Preceded by colonial genocides, Judeocide is the dark side of progress and modernity," he says.
